Description
Use this background information (as well as the lecture notes and text) to help you answer these relative dating exercises found below. The first link is the background information, read through this carefully, look at the examples provided and be careful to not over think or over analyze it (it is easy to do and human nature). The second link is the exercises themselves.
You can simply type your answers to the 10 block diagrams and the 15 questions directly in the text box for the assignment in Canvas, or you can attach it as a file. Regarding the block diagrams, you can simply type up your answers by starting with the oldest event first proceeding to the youngest event. It might look something like: B, C, Erosion A, Tilting G, Fault F, P, L, K where B is the oldest, K, the youngest. You can also list the events in a vertical manner, that is fine as well. the 10 block diagrams are worth 3 points each and the 15 questions are also worth 3 points each

"Attachments" and "Submit" buttons below.
Examine the geologic cross sections which follow, and determine the relative ages of the rock
bodies, lettered features such as faults or surfaces of erosion, and other events such as tilting,
folding, or erosion events. Always start with the oldest rock and work toward the present. List
the letters in order, with the oldest at the bottom.
For each of the relative dating diagrams, you are to think about them like they side view of a layer
cake. In general, the oldest units are on the bottom and the youngest units are on the top. There
can be lots of complexities,such as folding events, faulting, erosion events,intrusion by magma,
etc. You have to put these events into the order in which they occurred, starting with the oldest,
and working toward the youngest. Figure out "what ...
